Jake started first grade two weeks ago. He was a bit taken with the fact that he now had to go to school for 6 hours. This is a lot longer than kindergarten. Last Wednesday night I went to "Back to School Night" and spoke with his teacher. She told me that he thinks he can't read or write (he does both very well for his age). I figured in comparison to his brothers, he must feel like he can't do much academically. A few nights ago he fell asleep on the couch and I found him just like this. Maybe he is trying to figure out how to make it successfully in this new world of academia!
